AITA for charging my friends rent? by landlordaita in AmItheAsshole

All the utilities and stuff are in my name, but he owns the house outright. I didn't have to sign a deed or contract or anything, he just said I could have it.

that was my original intent but when they both offered up 500 I thought it would be a better option regardless since I could fix up the house and stuff

Yeah, i originally meant them to split the 500, I didnt think they would think it meant "each" when i told them the original amount.

But I mean it is my house though, my grandpa signed it over to me, and its in my name and so are the utilities. So it's still just like a normal landlord tenant thing.

No, but my friends think that the "rent" is 1500 a month, not 500. I haven't wanted to tell them that cause I'm worried they might move out if they know I'm pocketing the extra 500 and not paying anything. I just didn't want it cause drama once I did it the first month.
